Straight from the horse's mouth. Glad I went with the marine stranded...

Although you are running wire from outlet to outlet, it's really parallel, not series.

Good concise information so far on this post. I would add two things, first I like to run blue flexible tubing also called smurf tube in the walls before I run any wiring. Yes your inside skin is still in but I have fished this stuff through existing walls. I would drill a 3" round hole (fit with a round junction box) in the end-cap cabinet and snake one section of smurf to the roof and another down to another 3" hole (fit with round junction box) under front bench or other inside structure. By using this method if you ever have future wiring problems you can chase the smurf with new wiring and the wire is protected. Second point I would share is the use of stranded wire over romex. Romex is harder to fish then stranded.

That smurf tubing is very impressive. Cleanest setup yet and future proof. I wish I had done that prior to finishing my restoration. There is always next time. Nice work.
